I’m preparing some ‘tutorial’ videos and have probably a stupid question that I'm just overlooking the answer.
I’m following the steps on starter:
https://dev.office.com/getting-started/addins?product=word
with the option “Other Tools”
This all works fairly straight forward, ending with adding the generated AddIn to Word Online:
My question is though …. How do you get rid of the just added Show Taskpane again?
I can’t imagine it to be very hard, but I just don’t see the option anywhere in Word Online, to clean up again and remove the add-in to get a clean slate for the next video….
localStorage.clear();
sessionStorage.clear();
There is no UI for it unfortunately. You need to clear your local storage. Here is an example for IE, run it on the JavaScript console (F12 tools). Then reload the page with Ctrl + F5.
Just an update here. You can right click the add-in command and select Remove Add-in.
This capability is available for add-ins acquired from the in client Office Store or via App Source.
If an add-in is centrally deployed, in Outlook, you can configure add-ins so a user can right click and remove the add-in if they don't want it.
For people coming here from google:
If you tested your javascript add-ins locally you can remove those add-ins in MS Word by going File-Options-Trust Center-Trust Center Settings...-Trusted Add-In Catalogs and click 'Clear'.

I'm trying to install an App from the Office Store in Office 365 Home Premium, specifically the online version accessed via OneDrive. Example of such an App would be Modern Trend for Excel. The documentation says click Insert > My Apps, but I don't find this menu option in the online Excel.
Can Apps be installed in the online version of Office? If so, how?
I doubt your question is suitable for SO as it seems you're asking about how to install an already made application as opposed to developing said applications.
In the event I'm incorrect...
Apparently not; that doesn't surprise me though. Also, notice the link you provided doesn't specify that it pertains to any of the online versions of mentioned programs.
I opened my account, created a blank worksheet, and tried to add an app. First thing to notice is that the ribbon is limited online. It doesn't even have the "Apps" section as shown in the link. So I proceeded to "open in Excel", which will open the file on your local machine. Yahtzee, I'm able to add the app.
Perhaps you should try adding the app at "home" and after opening the file online and see if the app is functional. Problem would be solved.
It looks like Microsoft currently has this feature on their development roadmap:

I have an application which uses Office Word on particular click. I need to see behavior when word is not installed on my machine. Can we replicate this by doing some settings as I do not want to uninstall word.
Go to the control panel. Navigate to add or remove programs. Click on "Microsoft Office..." (version information will be in place of ellipsis). Click "Change" then when the dialog box appears for the Change process click the "Add or Remove Features" then Next then disable Microsoft Word and continue through the process. To re-enable go back through the process and enable Microsoft Word.
I recently needed to do this to test a new process on machine with MS Word and without MS Word. This way is much faster than installing or copying your test code to a different machine that does not have MS Word installed.
I created a Word add-in that contains ribbon tab and some code to work with SharePoint sites. All working code including ribbon definition I placed in separate library that is shared between Word, Excel and PowerPoint add-ins.
For testing my solution I use trial versions of Windows Server 2008 R2 and Office Home and Business 2010. My Word add-in installs and works fine, but every time I open Word, I see the following notification: "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support." I need to press OK button three times for my add-in to load.
Is it possible to hide that notifications without having to install "Visual Basic for Applications" feature for MS Office?
There is no such problem in Excel or PowerPoint.
I suggest you check your security level for macros. The setting is different for each office application. On the lowest setting, no prompts will be shown.

I apologize if this is a duplicate but I couldn't find any solutions that worked or any symptoms identical to mine.
I have a VSTO Word AddIn I've been developing for awhile. I've never changed Visual Studio's (2010) "Solution Configuration" before; I've just left it as Debug. But today my AddIn has stopped loading in Word. It appears in the list of Word COM addins (the list you get when you open word, go to Word Options \ AddIns), but the checkmark is off, and when I turn the checkmark on and return to that list of COM addins, it's off again. Also the message for the AddIn in Word's list of AddIns is just "Unloaded"; not anything like "Unloaded: an error occurred while..." Cleaning and rebuilding doesn't help. Deleting its registry node in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\AddIns doesn't help. Removing the AddIn from Word's list of AddIns doesn't help. I'm stumped.
The only clues I have as to what is going on are: 1) there is no output from my Build/Run when I am in Debug configuration. The Output window of Visual Studio is just blank. 2) When I switch to Release configuration in Visual Studio, my build/run now results in output in the output window and the addin loads properly in word. I feel like this information might help someone more knowledgeable than I about Word/VSTO/Visual Studio.
Help? Thank you.
You can also fix this by File | Options | Add-ins |
Then in Manage combo box select disabled items then click Go.. button.
A dialog will popup with your add-in listed and you can re-enable it.
Enjoy!
I ended up fixing this by duplicating the "Debug" solution configuration. Now I have "Debug2" and it seems to work just fine.
Make sure that all the icons you use have been added to the project. It just happened to me: an icon is added to the resources file (.resx) but not to the project (.csproj). Run the solution: no add-in, no error message.
I have an issue on a client machine that seems to be interferring with a word addin that ive built.
When any word document opens on the client machine, a second blank document opens also.
Ive seen this issue on a number of different machines but havent seen an explanation as to why.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour in word and have you managed to stop the second document opening?
Cheers
If this issue is happening regardless of whether or not your addin is installed, perhaps the user has a strange macro running in their default template file (normal.dot)?
You could try replacing normal.dot with a version from a machine which doesn't have the problem to see if that helps!?
If you are delivering your addin as a .dot, it is very easy to accidentally set it up to have a document in it that opens. This, of course, assumes that the problem follows the addin. If it does not follow the addin then you don't have a programming problem.
It happens to me in Windows Explorer when the preview pane is enabled on it.
If you double-click a word document then 2 instances of Word open, one of them is with empty document.
Disabling the preview pane eliminates the problem.
